ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) rejected an appeal that sought the suspension of the Tibb-e-Unani part of the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) Act 2012 and said that resolutions passed by provincial assemblies must be given the widest amplitude.
The appeal was made by All Pakistan Unani Medicine Manufacturers Association (APUMMA).
Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar said, “We are not persuaded that the Sindh High Court (SHC) has misconstrued the resolution of the Sindh Assembly or any inroad has been made in the provincial autonomy.”
The SHC had ruled earlier that the Unani sysem also came under the purview of the DRAP Act 2012.
